Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

All static routes from pages folder will be automatically added to the sitemap.

// import { configureSitemap } from '@sergeymyssak/nextjs-sitemap';
const { configureSitemap } = require('@sergeymyssak/nextjs-sitemap');

const Sitemap = configureSitemap({
  domains: [{ domain: 'example.com', defaultLocale: 'en', http: true }],
  exclude: ['/admin/*'],
  excludeIndex: true,
  pagesConfig: {
    '/projects/*': {
      priority: '0.5',
      changefreq: 'daily',
    },
  },
  trailingSlash: true,
  targetDirectory: __dirname + '/public',
  pagesDirectory: __dirname + '/src/pages',
});

With exportPathMap

If you specify nextConfigPath prop, then all values indicated in the exportPathMap will be automatically added (pages folder will be ignored).

// import { configureSitemap } from '@sergeymyssak/nextjs-sitemap';
const { configureSitemap } = require('@sergeymyssak/nextjs-sitemap');

const Sitemap = configureSitemap({
  exclude: ['/admin'],
  excludeIndex: true,
  pagesConfig: {
    '/p/*': {
      priority: '0.5',
      changefreq: 'daily',
    },
  },
  nextConfigPath: __dirname + '/next.config.js',
  targetDirectory: __dirname + '/public',
  pagesDirectory: __dirname + '/src/pages',
});

Sitemap.generateSitemap();
module.exports = {
  i18n: {
    domains: [
      {
        domain: 'example.com',
        defaultLocale: 'en',
        locales: ['en-US', 'en-CA'],
      },
    ],
  },
  trailingSlash: true,
  exportPathMap: async function () {
    return {
      '/': { page: '/' },
      '/admin': { page: '/admin' },
      '/p/learn-nextjs': { page: '/post', query: { title: 'learn-nextjs' } },
    };
  },
};

With dynamic routes

For dynamic routes, you have to declare them with the include property.

Example src folder:

└── src
    └── pages
        ├── project
        │   └── [id].js
        └── index.js
// import { configureSitemap } from '@sergeymyssak/nextjs-sitemap';
const { configureSitemap } = require('@sergeymyssak/nextjs-sitemap');

async function fetchDynamicPaths() {
  return ['house', 'flower', 'table'];
}

async function getDynamicPaths() {
  const paths = await fetchDynamicPaths();

  return paths.map((item) => `/project/${item}`);
}

getDynamicPaths().then((paths) => {
  const Sitemap = configureSitemap({
    domains: [{ domain: 'example.com', defaultLocale: 'en' }],
    include: paths,
    exclude: ['/project/*'],
    excludeIndex: true,
    pagesConfig: {
      '/project/*': {
        priority: '0.5',
        changefreq: 'daily',
      },
    },
    trailingSlash: true,
    targetDirectory: __dirname + '/public',
    pagesDirectory: __dirname + '/src/pages',
  });

  Sitemap.generateSitemap();
});

        <xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://example.com/project/table/" />
    </url>
</urlset>

With localization

If you have localization, you can use locales in domains prop.

// import { configureSitemap } from '@sergeymyssak/nextjs-sitemap';
const { configureSitemap } = require('@sergeymyssak/nextjs-sitemap');

const Sitemap = configureSitemap({
  domains: [{ domain: 'example.com', locales: ['en', 'es'] }],
  excludeIndex: true,
  trailingSlash: true,
  targetDirectory: __dirname + '/public',
  pagesDirectory: __dirname + '/src/pages',
});

Sitemap.generateSitemap();
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<urlset xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9 http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd" 
    xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"

Multiple sitemaps

If the number of urls is more than 50000, then several sitemaps will be automatically created. You can customize the number of urls using sitemapSize

// import { configureSitemap } from '@sergeymyssak/nextjs-sitemap';
const { configureSitemap } = require('@sergeymyssak/nextjs-sitemap');

const Sitemap = configureSitemap({
  sitemapUrl: 'https://www.example.com',
  sitemapSize: 5000,
  pagesConfig: {
    '/p/*': {
      priority: '0.5',
      changefreq: 'daily',
    },
  },
  nextConfigPath: __dirname + '/next.config.js',
  targetDirectory: __dirname + '/public',
  pagesDirectory: __dirname + '/src/pages',
});

Sitemap.generateSitemap();
└── src
    └── public
        ├── sitemap.xml
        ├── sitemap1.xml
        ├── sitemap2.xml
        └── sitemap3.xml

Sitemap methods

generateSitemap: () => Promise<ISitemapWriterResultItem[]>;

Generate sitemap

ISitemapWriterResultItem {
  name: string; // sitemap file name
  count: number; // number of urls
}
regenerateSitemapIndex: (sitemapsNames: string[]) => void;

When there are multiple sitemaps, a sitemap index is generated. If we somehow changed our sitemaps externally, then you can use this function to update sitemap index

Sitemap options

domains (optional): IDomain[]

Domain list - same as in next.config.js.

IDomain {
  domain: string; // domain name
  defaultLocale?: string; // non-routing language
  locales?: string[]; // routing languages
  http?: boolean; // http or https
}
exclude (optional): string[]

The exclude parameter is an array of glob patterns to exclude static routes / folders from the generated sitemap.

excludeExtensions (optional): string[]

Ignore files by extension.

Example:

// import { configureSitemap } from '@sergeymyssak/nextjs-sitemap';

Useful information

  • The value of the hreflang attribute identifies the language (in ISO 639-1 format) and optionally a region (in ISO 3166-1 Alpha 2 format) of an alternate URL.

  • You can gzip your sitemap.xml. The .gz extension just means that it's been compressed (using gzip compression), so that it's smaller and served faster. Most search engine bots can read gzip'd compressed content.

    // import zlib from 'zlib';
    // import fs from 'fs';
    // import { configureSitemap } from '@sergeymyssak/nextjs-sitemap';
    
    const zlib = require('zlib');
    const fs = require('fs');
    const { configureSitemap } = require('@sergeymyssak/nextjs-sitemap');
